STRATEGIES FOR INTERNATIONALIZATION: WHY, WHEN, WHERE, HOW AND WITH WHOM
The purpose of my discussion on the methodologies and strategies for internationalization, on the opportunities and risks of facing foreign markets, and to do so in a planned, structured and methodical way, is to convey to you the complexity of the operations that are the basis of this long and tortuous path, but at the same time to entice you to deepen the discussion and to carefully evaluate what your potential and expectations are in this regard. Having clear ideas, making the necessary reflections, finding the right partners and the right alliances, relying on the most suitable professionals for your reality, is the basis of your future successes. So do not approach this project in a hurry, but ponder your choices and avoid too long and risky steps. Do not forget that if it took you years to reach a positioning in your territory, you may need more time to create a positive referentiality in a market unknown to you. Also consider the possibility of tackling this path together with other companies in the sector, in order to share duties and pleasures with other people who, like you, have the will to grow and want to do so by confronting a now global market and world. The business network tool can be a valuable support in your internationalization process.
